To The Haven Family,

Our Haven theme this year is “Great to Incredible!” We all know that we are great and blessed in so many ways. Even with our successes, we must always be mindful to continue to grow academically, ethically, and socially if we are to prepare our young people to be productive citizens and leaders in the Twenty-first Century. In order to move to the next level, yes, to incredible, we have partnered with Dr. Bill Daggett and the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). Dr. Daggett’s work in the field of education is renowned worldwide. He is coming here to visit our schools and officially kick off our “Great to Incredible” theme. Please look over the following information and make plans to join us for this incredible event!

Respectfully,

Larry R. Bolinger

Chief Education Officer

Some Clubs Starting Soon:

Girl Scouts

For over 100 years, the Girl Scout mission has been to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Girls participate in fun activities, get outdoors to learn skills, and explore the world around them. Girl Scout Troop 3005 would like to invite all girls in Kindergarten through 12th grade to join in on the fun! Our first parent/troop meeting will be Wednesday, August 29 at 3:45pm in room 152 (on the middle school side). The girls must be registered through the Girl Scouts of the Florida Panhandle to attend the meetings. More information can be found at www.gscfp.org.

FCA, Jr. is for students in grades 3-5 and starts Thursday, September 13. Students need to see Mrs. Sistrunk (Rm.214) prior to the meeting to sign up. (There is no sign up limit, the students just need an informational form and Mrs. Sistrunk needs contact info)

FOOD DRIVE

FCA Jr. is sponsoring a food drive to provide food to children during the weekend when school lunch is not available. See the attached letter for a list of requested food items. The grade level that collects the most will receive a special treat!

Spirit Shirts

Spirit shirts are now available for sale in the front office. Please get yours before they are gone! They are $12. CASH ONLY, NO CHECKS!

Morning Drop-off

Elementary parking lot is open only to preK parents and staff until 7:15 am.

Numbered parking lot spaces are for NBHE Staff.

Do not block the entrance to the parking lot.

Please stay off your phone and pay very close attention.

MEN-tor Program

NBH MEN-tors program is designed for a dad, or father figure, to be able to come to the school and volunteer for the day. Dads will be given a schedule that will allow them to spend time in their child’s classroom and special areas, along with helping in the lunch room and monitoring hallways. MEN-tors will also be given a free t-shirt and their picture taken with their child to be put on the recognition board. This is a great opportunity to get 8 volunteer hours completed.

Parents, we still have Aftercare slots available. Please stop by or contact Traci Cornett in the Aftercare office at cornetl@bayhaven.org or at (850) 630-6463. Check out the Aftercare page on the school website for more information.

WALK-A-THON / FUNRUN

We are gearing up for our annual Walk-A-Thon, Oct. 17th-Oct. 26th. This year we are using a company, Boosterthon.com, so that we can move into the digital age of online pledges and social media pledge gathering. In a few weeks we will be sending out much more information on this.

But in the meantime, we are working on getting our Business Sponsors. Please see the attached Business Sponsor Form. There is a hard deadline of Sept. 28th for the Bus.Sponsors, as we are having shirts made this year and need to have the order placed in time to receive the shirts for the FUNrun. Please help make this event great, by being one of our Sponsors.

If you have purchased a Shipwheel Magnet from PTSP, we have sold out and have new ones arriving soon! They will be distributed as soon as they arrive. Thank you for your patience!
